Blonde FOX News contributor Tomi Lahren was recently called ‘a truly outstanding and respected young woman’.

Only problem is, it was Donald Trump who called her that.

Other people don’t tend to agree with him about Tomi, and in May 2018 a protester even threw water on her and her mother.

Yes, ultra-conservative Tomi seems to be the rare sort of media personality President Trump does actually like and trust, even though some critics have labelled her a ‘Nazi barbie’.

What do we know about Tomi’s views? What she has said about immigration and Black Lives Matter?

And what makes her an ‘anti-feminist who admires strong women’?

Tomi Lahren is 25 years old and a native of Rapid City, South Dakota, from a military family. She is a Christian of German and Norwegian descent.

In 2014 she graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism and political science, before interning with Republican congresswoman Kristi Noem in Rapid City.

That same year she managed to bag her own TV show called On Point With Tomi Lahren, made by the ultra-conservative One America News Network, after applying for an internship at the company.

She then went to work for Texan channel TheBlaze from late 2015, but was later fired after declaring on chat show The View that women should have access to abortions and that pro-lifers were hypocrites. She sued for wrongful contract termination.

By this time her broadcast trademark had been cemented – short rants at the end of the show, called ‘final thoughts’, in which she summed things up while speaking very quickly.

Tomi first established herself as a controversial figure by slamming Barack Obama’s ‘half-way, half-baked, tip-toe, be-friendly-to-Jihadis mentality’ after the shooting of four Marines in Chattanooga.

Referring to the Middle East, she added that it was time for the US military ‘to put the fear of God in their desert’.

Big changes for Tomi came in 2017, Trump’s first year in power.

First, she began working in a communications role at Great America Alliance, an offshoot of Great America PAC (political action committee), a large pro-Trump super PAC, chaired by Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani.

Then in August 2017, Lahren joined Fox News as a contributor, though she insists she is not a journalist, rather a ‘news maker’.

While all this makes Tomi’s rise to fame sound rather smooth, Tomi has been accused of racism multiple times due to some extremely unsavoury comments.

In July 2016 she compared the Black Lives Matter movement to the Ku Klux Klan on Twitter.

In response, tens of thousands of people signed a Change.org petition in response asking for her to be fired from TheBlaze.

But she was not fired from TheBlaze until she made her pro-abortion comments in March 2017, which were a huge U-turn from pro-life comments she had made hitherto.

Soon after her firing and the settlement she received, Lahren told Playboy that she has always been pro-abortion rights as a matter of national law but personally anti-abortion.

Last year she also criticised NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem to protest racism in online videos.

Tomi has continually rejected the term feminist, but says she supports strong women, regardless of their politics.
